Magnet registration process

Check back soon for our 2025-26 Pre-K 4 & magnet lottery applications! 

Please note that the application window for 2024-25 is now closed.

Our magnet schools focus instruction on a particular theme and incorporate that theme across all subject areas. Magnet schools are open to children throughout the city via the process below.

Please note that magnet registration is a two part process. Please be sure to review all the information on this page before beginning your application.

Step 1: Apply for a seat

You can apply at any time, however, we encourage families to apply through the lottery held each year. Applications received outside the annual lottery window will be processed based on availability. Once you have completed an application, the district will send an official notification by mail and email to the addresses you provided. You will receive one of three letters: an acceptance letter, a waiting-list letter or a waiting-pool letter.

Step 2: Accept an awarded seat and register

If you are awarded a seat and recieve an acceptance notification, you must then register your child to officially accept the seat you have been offered.
